Having laid down in sober sadness what Swift & Arbuthnot
had advanced in pleasantry [in relation to Christians] that
every person man consists of two persons whole life is spent in whole one continued
game of playing at leap-frog, and having given such a definition
of liberty as excludes from the possession of it
every human being that ever existed, and
having given us to understand that all men
not possessed of liberty according to that
definition of it are slaves, it follows that all
Englishmen are slaves. But when a man
finds himself a slave, especially a slave without
any default of his, the best thing he can do,
and the sooner the better, is to shake off start up
as is plainly
enough
+
his chains, and if any other man
attempts to stop him beat his
brains out.
